History

Playhouse on the Green originated in 1954 as the “Polka Dot Playhouse”, located in Stratford’s Redman’s Hall. The company had several homes before moving to Pleasure Beach in 1967. With support of People’s Bank and the State of Connecticut, the Playhouse relocated in 1999 to a renovated downtown bank building conveniently located on McLevy Green, changing its name to Playhouse on the Green shortly after.

Photos from the history of Playhouse on the Green and the “Polka Dot Players” will appear on the “Past Shows” page of this website soon!
